It's that time of year again! It's time to give gifts for all those special people in your life. The holiday season can be extremely stressful when you have to think about family members, co-workers/bosses, neighbors, school members and other people that pass through your life. My rule of thumb is never about money because finances is a personal matter, but more of practicality. If you think about how practical and convenient an item is, it won't be that hard wrapping it up and putting a bow it...depending on the person of course.

Eva Chen rocking a Banker Stripe top

No, it's not the 80's and we're not in the Wolf of Wall Street, but we can always tap in some inspiration from there. You don't have to work in finance to appreciate banker stripes and the fashion set definitely took this corporate shirt and turned it around... some of them actually did.The Banker Stripes made popular in the 80s with men working on wall Street and movies such as Wall Street featuring Michael Douglas. This origin of this stripe shirt usually has a white collar, but fast forward to now and this menswear style has done a 360 with women rocking it out in fresh and sexy ways.

Heroin Is Not Chic X D.A.R.E. America Collaboration - $28

Here on Chic Inspector, I inspect people, places and things that are chic and with that said I love to bring forth brands that are using their platform for the greater good.

Remember back in the day when the fashion industry coined the term "heroin chic"? Basically, heroin chic was the description of waif thin models made popular by Kate Moss in the Calvin Klein ads back in the '90s. Well fast forward now in 2016, to encourage someone to look like a druggie would be highly frowned upon and might result in a lawsuit. The drug heroin is no way fashionable, according to D.A.R.E, 78 Americans die every day from opioid and heroin overdoses.

Heroin Is Not Chic X Pin Drop NYC Collaboration - $12

Heroin Is Not Chic, (HINC) is here to the promote the awareness of the growing heroin and opiate epidemic in the US with their collaborative t-shirts and pins. HINC has collaborated with Pin Drop NYC and D.A.R.E and all of the proceeds will be donated to HNIC X D.A.R.E AMERICA campaign.

It's getting cold y'all! Systematically we're used to seeing the darker tones during the colder season. Even though the tradition is respected, why not change it up. The above pic of the Chief Executive & Fashion Director of Tank Magazine, Caroline Issa got me thinking, what are other way to injected pastels in during the next months of dreary weather? I wasn't too surprise to find some great inspo via street style.
